What Causes Excessive Sleepiness And Fatigue?

I have been sleeping excessively. 3 days in the past 2 weeks I have gone to bed at 11pm and slept until 3pm the next day. I am still exhausted when I wake up. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2015. I had chemo, surgery and radiation. I am currently on a hormone blocker pill. I also have hypothryroidism and currently take armour thyroid. I have never been this fatigued before. My other concern is that for the past 2 months or so I have had blood in my stool everytime I use the restroom. I have also had a constant cold like symptoms since October and no one can figure out what is going on. I have been to an ENT, had a CT scan, allergy testing, been tested for the flu, mono, strep, and nothing has come back that I have anything.
